Q

+

A

+ Why should I take the Level 1 class?

Level 1 introduces the dancer to BARRED fundamental vocabulary & strength building specific to our apparatus.

+ Is this method “too hard” for dancers? Do you have to be an aerialist?

BARRED is an incredible addition to Dance Training. We combine all dance styles & further develop full body awareness. Dancers discover a more dynamic range in their physical expression while training. Aerialists and Pole Dancers love BARRED. Their skills translate beautifully, however, it is NOT a pre-requisite.

+ It looks so fun, but does it hurt?

No! This is why we begin with the Level 1

BARRED develops your body from the inside out. You will discover your core in a whole new way and the limitless connections from head to toe. We provide a product called “Dry Hands” to prevent slipping.The human body is an incredible machine that adapts quickly and is sure to surprise you.

+ How do I go upside down safely?

BARRED Level 1 class takes you upside down slowly; usually by the third 3 class you will be experimenting with your own inversions. Studies have proven inversions improve brain function, release neurotransmitters, balance hormones, and awaken endorphins. A beautiful bonus is seeing the world from a different perspective.

+ I'm a professional dancer, which class do you recommend??

We recommend everyone starts by taking the Level 1, 4 class series. We go over the fundamentals used in the BARRED technique. You can expect to develop and build kinesthetic clarity for our specific apparatus. This will allow you to comfortably move on to BARRED Choreography.

+ What do I wear?

BARRED suggests fitted leggings and a comfortable top. Lotions, oils and moisturizers are not your friend on the apparatus. (refer to class photos and videos)

Please NO lotion!!
